Believe it or not this recipe idea came from leftover Christmas turkey that was in the freezer.

Nothing, and I mean nothing goes to waste in this household!

I’ve grown addicted to this honey mustard turkey pasta salad though.

Although I’ve no Christmas turkey left, lean turkey breast, grilled and sliced, as in the recipe below is just perfect.

I can’t believe I’ve mentioned Christmas in this recipe, seeing as it’s only April.

But seeing as I have, let me just mention it again and say wouldn’t this dressing be absolutely perfect for that leftover Turkey on Boxing Day? 😆
